Hi devs,
My name is Alison Cassidy, I'm an admin and bureaucrat at the Irish Language Wikipedia. Can we possibly set $wgCategoryCollation to either uca-ga or uca-default for gawiki, please? Either should work, and my understanding is that the ga collation was added somewhat recently.
This has been discussed by the community here, with unanimous support.
We are a small wiki, with just over 50k in articlespace.
Le gach dea-ghuí,
Hello @Alison - uca-ga is possible. Would you prefer instead uca-ga-u-kn? It's the same as uca-ga but with numeric sorting.
Change 807593 had a related patch set uploaded (by MarcoAurelio; author: MarcoAurelio):

Hello @Alison. The patch was deployed and the category collation changed. Does everything look okay to you over there? Could you please check? Thanks!
